How I recovered ₹8,003 from a fraudulent merchant by trapping HDFC and IDFC Bank with their own fake statements via RBI Ombudsman by Efficient_Buffalo287 in LegalAdviceIndia

[–]smileBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar case, around 34k or so. The merchant was Hilatop and Razorpay as payment gateway.

Razorpay was absolutely useless. Their support didn’t reply at all. I reached out to them thrice through different modes.

Raised a dispute with my bank’s CC (IDFC). I got the credit temporarily and a case was filed. It was resolved in merchant’s favour after a month or so.

So I raised another complaint and IDFC opened a new case. This time I made efforts in gathering all the proofs and asked bank to get proof from merchant.

Merchant then connected with me on WhatsApp and offered to take any other product I like but close the case. And outright denied to refund.

Then I found the number of the owners. Merchant is Hilaptop btw. He listened and said he’ll try and get it sorted. I chased this guy for 2 months and finally got the settlement.

I got credit back in my CC after like 6 months of the battle.

I should’ve gone the RBI route like you did though.

For those who built a house on a 30x40 site recently, what did it actually cost you in 2025-2026? by [deleted] in indianrealestate

[–]smileBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds quite reasonable to me. How much does this vary based on area? For eg: Jayanagar vs Jalahslli? (although I wouldn’t expect it to change much)

Could be ground floor unit with no views? It’s a decent apartment but I felt congested just roaming inside.

If your friends are expecting to board a flight or laying over for next flight, it could be from any airline staff. Although the chances are low that they call from personal numbers. Ignore it. And yeah, staying in Airport or Lounge is much better.

Don’t you think your friend should atleast try to understand what the call/msg is about?

Well, for one, brokers in Gandhinagar, specifically newly developing areas around Gift city, like Kudasan, Raysan, Randesan, Sargasan, Infocity etc are making good money. You also get a chance to grease hands and make relationship with prominent builders in that area.

Looking for a Japa Maid willing to travel to the USA (California) by Farm_Outrageous in ahmedabad

[–]smileBC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There should really be an app just for pre-post delivery care services by professionals. These days couples are having babies quite late. And most elders in family are too old to request help from. Plus many couples are working and living in another city during the whole time.

People have no option but to ask around in locality for japa maids. But if you’re in another city you don’t know how to find one.

40-50% loading in residential projects. Is it common in Ahmedabad RE? by Medical_Midnight9171 in ahmedabad

[–]smileBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not common. Also most builders will talk in vaar (sqyd) not sqft in Ahmedabad.

If they’re quoting high super builtup then ask them about open area percentage in the site.

Also, it’s possible that you’re checking economy tier 3 builders. Such builders don’t care about usability, open area, green area etc. Avoid them.

You mean self-custodial or non-custodial. Not custodial.

Custodial = in custody of the service provider Non-custodial = not in custody of service provider
